Recommendation 35

35 Paragraph: 159

Formal qualifications are not always the best way to help adults obtain basic digital skills.

Conclusion
Formal qualifications are not always the best way to help adults obtain basic digital skills. Local interventions and more informal engagements delivered through community hubs can provide a key way of reaching digitally excluded individuals, and building the motivation, confidence and skills needed to get online. But many smaller organisations find it difficult to access the resources to deliver such work, particularly when funding schemes are designed for larger institutions.
